Post below about dinner made me wonder what time zone everyone is in--it is after 9 p.m. here and you are all grilling out.....sounds yummy though.

I don't hear anything around me.  My husband literally has to come up and touch me to get my attention when I'm working and then I nearly jump out of my skin cause it's like he snuck up on me.

I've been working at home since my son was a baby.  He's 14 now.  He had asthma and respiratory difficulties from birth and so I needed a profession that allowed me to be at home with him.  At first, my production was just gross, but you'll find that you adapt pretty easily.  Now, with both kids at school (my daughter just started kindergarten), I've seen my production shoot way up to the 1800 to 2000 range just because there are no interruptions and no excuses!

Your production will get better and better.  It just takes time.

Been there, still go there sometimes.  It took me a long time to just focus on the work, because at first I thought, "This is so coooool!  I don't have to actually go to work.  I think I'll go make brownies and come back to it later."  WRONG!

Had to make myself a schedule, as the kids were getting packaged brownies and the dishes were never done.  It's tough at the beginning to and when I started a year ago nobody was home.  Then school got out and I realized I had forgotten to factor in the summer part, which was a nightmare!  "Mama! You're not WORKING, ARE YOU?"  Ended up starting at 4:00 a.m. and then working again after everyone was settled in bed.

Now I'm back on schedule. Good luck.

Hi,

Last night I had a file and folder open and left them there.  This afternoon I sat down to try to get some work done on it.  I decided to clean up the bottom tray and closed out the file, folder, and other www pages I left open (Yahoo., local library, etc.) to re-open items in the order I usually like them only to discover that the drive that I work on is totally missing. 

I've done searches for names of files on that drive, searched for the drive itself, checked the trash bin in case of some fluke it might be there.  Nada, zip, zilch, ___you fill in the blank, the system says I used a bad word. 

What else can I/should I do besides shoot myself?

Thanks. 

Sorry to hear of your RA. I know it can be very painful and you are right, we have a job where no one sees us and who cares what we are wearing or where we do our work as long as we are happy,comfortable and productive.

I've never tried working outside but I do like the window open on a nice day to let  in the breeze and the sun. Generally work evenings so spend a lot of time outside during the daytime anyway. Often thought of getting an RV and being a mobile MT.

That would be a lot of fun I think as long as you have a good reliable broadband connection and your computer was easily transported. That way you could be a snow bird in the winter and come north in the summer or whatever and do it in the comfort of an RV. RV sales are down though. I wonder why???

More about keyboards ... I don't think I would like the big MS 4000, because when I tested out large ones in the store one day, it felt too big and awkward for me; however, I did try a smaller one with just a slight curve that felt quite good.  (Unfortunately, I don't remember what make/model it was as I was not really shopping for one at the time.)

When looking around the web, it looks like it might have been the MS Comfort Curve 2000.  Does anyone have any experience with that one? 

Thanks for any feedback.
